Oh, God.

So the woman walks out.

I honestly don't know how much time passed.

Could have been 30 seconds.

Could have been 10 minutes.

But not too much time passes.

And the man comes in the tent and he's changed out of like the dark sweatpants and sweatshirt and stocking hat that he wore to kidnap me in.

And he has on these long robes like the woman.

And he comes in and he kneels down next to me and he starts speaking to me.

And at first I'm really not paying attention.

attention to what he has to say.

And then I have a thought that maybe I should, because maybe there'd be some reason why he was kidnapping me or what was going to happen next.

At that point, I did not realize he had already mentioned God.

But because I grew up in such a religious environment, that didn't just automatically make me think, oh, crazy person.

Right, right, right, right, right.

But then as I listened to what he says, and he's like, I seal you to me as my wife before God and his angels as my witnesses.

They're getting married, Monica.

Oh, my God.

He doesn't tell me right at that moment, but I mean, he does tell me later how I'm the first of seven wives.

So he had this whole set of books that he viewed as scripture and he called them the seven diamonds plus one books.
